[ REQ 5223]: Geomview 1.0.5 SGI version built for X11.

[Luca.Toldo at EMBL-Heidelberg.DE]

BUG REPORT:

Hardware          SGI IP20 mips
Operating System  IRIX 5.2 
Software          GEOMVIEW 1.0.5 

Binary made locally from geomview.1.0.5.src.tar, with the option

GVTYPE = x11
MGTYPE = -DMGX11


Report:
1) upon startup the program reports 
"Shared memory unavailable, using fallback display method."

2) While following the TUTORIAL several differences are encountered:
   page 7, Instead of PANELS there is INSPEXT
           Figure 3, The Appearance Panel looks rather different. Anyhow it is
           working correctly.
   page  8,Figure 4, the COlor Chooser Panel looks rather different. Anyhow it   
           is working correctly.
           There is no DELETE button in the Main panel, just go in Edit and
           and there is the Delete command.

   All the observations described above are only minor and just related with
editorial aspects of the documentation.


3) page 8 There is no Load button on the main panel, instead in order to obtain
          the FILES panel one can just select it from the command File Open.
          The window appears but then it is completely inactive. No way to
          select anything or to close it. There is no way to load objects apart
          from the startup command line (that works perfectly).
